White Wednesday at the Wrentham Country Store

Ahhh...it's that time of week again ~ The coveted White Wednesday. For this post, I thought I'd take a cue from my fellow shop girl Sandi, (aka A Cottage Muse) and post a few whites for sale around the Wrentham Country Store. First I'll show you two little whites residing in my space at the moment. Look at the detail of this shabby, chippy, white shelf adorned with roses. Isn't it precious?
In case you can't see, it's all wood except for the handles which are metal...just waiting to hang something sweet in a kitchen, bath, or entryway!
Next, here's a vintage cherub holding a wicker basket. Very chic to store a few of your favorite things!
Check out this adorable dresser from our shop girl Mary. She's my WCS neighbor (as her space is right beside mine) She is also offering that sweet vanity style mirror on top of the dresser. Beautiful whites!
My other neighbor ~ the lovely Sue, is directly across from me. She has this gorgeous white little pie safe up for grabs.
Look at this beautiful hall tree and mirror from Maureen and Peter (too bad I'm in the mirror) Plus...all the little goodies they have decorated it with. I sooo want that lamp!!
And yet another exquisite piece from Maureen and Peter... (and there I am in the mirror again! Note to self...photograph from an angle when taking pics near mirrors!)
This cherub bird bath is for sale out on the porch. Can you just imagine it all surrounded with flowers and watering cans? oooooh!
Sandi (A Cottage Muse) has this lovely vintage luggage for sale; all wrapped in a coat of white. Sandi always has plenty of whites in her space and I spend more than a little time sifting through her latest finds.
And now that I'm running short on time, I'll move us along a little quicker!
Here's a sweet cupboard from Betsy...
A garden shelf from Jeannie...
And lastly, a glass front vintage cupboard (maybe medicine?) from shop owner Mary Ellen.
We have so many more whites, I could never take pics of everything. Hope you found something to make you smile. Link up with Kathleen over at Faded Charm to grab some white inspiration ~

A Treasure Trek To New Hampshire

Well, I had planned to go to the Brimfield Antique Show on Sunday, but after seeing Mary Ellen's post from her Wrentham Country Store blog (Thanks for the lead Mary Ellen!), I decided instead to make the 2 hour trek to New Hampshire to check out The White Home Collections in Wilton. (Thanks to my wonderful hubby for doing all the driving) Boy am I glad I did. At first I thought I'd do a little shopping for my little space at the Wrentham Country Store, but after picking my jaw off the ground it was apparent that I'd be shopping for none other than me, myself, and I.

Anyway, here I found the piece that spoke to me...LOUD and CLEAR!!! We will be remodeling our entire kitchen soon with off white cabinetry (biscotti to be exact). Even though our kitchen is small, I knew I had room for a small piece in the center of the kitchen to serve as an extra work space if you will. With all that newness coming to my kitchen, I knew the piece had to be old, chippy, and full of charm. Well..to my eternal delight, I found that piece at The White Home Collections in Wilton, New Hampshire. Here she is in all her chippy, faded, blue glory....


Can you believe that not only are there five drawers and a cupboard (with a shelf) in this beauty, but her top drawer has a built in cutlery tray/divider? Be still my heart! I'm convinced if I flipped this chest over, my name would be inscribed on it somewhere...that's just how PERFECT a fit it is for me and my little home!

She will definitely provide me with extra storage for all those little odds & ends in a kitchen. And not only did I get 10% off the price...but there is NO SALES TAX in New Hampshire, which made the win even sweeter!!

Lastly, in the near future, look for Deb at The White Home Collections to be adding a blog to her website, so she can tempt you even more with her awesome displays of shabby, cottage, chic, garden delights. I look forward to a trip back there soon. For now, here is just an appetizer of displays amongst three floors of absolute heaven!






Hope you enjoy these little pics as much as I did visiting! And please let me know what you think of my shabby old cupboard!

A Peek at my space in the Wrentham Country Store


Here's a peek at some of the treasures currently for sale at my little space in the Wrentham Country Store. The displays are always changing as things sell, so the look is always different. I have such fun with it. It's more than a job or a hobby, it's a PASSION! I was treasure hunting today and found some awesome things that will soon find their way into my little corner at WCS. A beautiful shabby blue dresser, a glass and iron tea/or garden cart, an antique framed tapestry, some cast iron finials, awesome night stands (that just need a coat of shabby white paint) with original barbola or gesso on the front, a vintage shabbylicious parasol, and some other small items. Look for them in the coming weeks.



Check out these little vintage ladies gloves...sooo shabby sweet and garden style...


Look at this lovely I purchased for myself! It's a vintage chippy french wire collapsible laundry basket straight from the Paris Flea Market. These are getting harder and harder to find. I'm not sure where it's going to fit though, since it's quite large. I may find a spot for it on my porch (aka outdoor living space)...maybe with some flowers in it. If I had the room inside, I could just see it filled with spare pillows and throws, or maybe in the bath filled with towels. Any ideas ladies? I'm open to suggestions. As much as I love it, it may just find it's way into my space at the store if it proves too big for my dwelling. Waaaaahhhh!!!
